The Friend of the Farm Bureau Award is given each session of Congress to those members of Congress who were nominated by their respective state farm bureau and approved by the American Farm Bureau Federation’s board of directors.

| Representative Murphy receives the Farm Bureau award |
In order for a state farm bureau to nominate a member of Congress, that member must vote consistently in favor of farm bureau issues.
During the 114th Congress, the award recognizes those representatives who supported policies that reduce regulatory burdens on farmers, provide sensible food labeling options, and maintain and modify the tax options available to farmers, to name a few. The voting records are based on American Farm Bureau Federation priority issues, as determined by the AFBF’s board of directors.
On behalf of our nearly 62,000 member families, the Pennsylvania Farm Bureau would like to thank Representative Murphy for his support of agriculture and our rural families. Representative Murphy is the newest recipient of the Friend of the Farm Bureau Award. Congratulations!
